Forfeiture, Publication At s’clock this afternoon a fifteen day rushing period will begin for over fifty-nine national and local fraternities under the rules of the Interfraternity Council Code revised last Spring. “Rushing” as defined in the 1931 Code constitutes the presence of a rushee in a fraternity house or the presence of a fraternity man in a rushers room. Any non-fraternity man in his freshman year is defined as a rushee' AH freshmen in attendance at the unofficial assembly last night filled out information cards bearing name, both home and State College addresses, and religious preference for distribu tion among, the fraternities First >ear men not present at that meeting have been receiving the cards at the Student Union office today. All freshmen are also supplied with date cards which are used when en gagements for luncheon or dinner ore made by fraternity men with the first year students Date cards are the only means by which a fraternity may make an engagement with a freshman. Provide Silent Periods Fraternities are not allowed to make more than two dates at a time with a rushee and no more than four in all, the latter two being made after tiie completion of the first two.

Penalties for violation of the Code includo publication of the offense in tlio Collfgian, notification of notional officers, forfeiture of a fifty dollar bond previously posted, and suspen sion of social privileges during the semester immediately following that in which rushing occurred.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1931 Coach Bob Higgins Moulds Lion Grid Team; Prepares Speedy, Deceptive Machine Nittany Mentor Changes System, Introduces Military Huddle—Return of Collins Strengthens Backfield Handicapped by the loss of twelve varsity lettermen, Coach Bob Higgins and his staff of assistants have begun the task of moulding a new Lion grid machine capable of carrying Penn State’s hopes through the 1931 season of nine haid games. Believing that the day of pessimism among coaches is a thing of the past, Coach Higgins has taken his six remaining lettormen and a few holdovers 'from last year's squad together with a large number of sophomores and has instituted his own system of relying on deception and speed to balance the seeming lack of weight. At present the Lion mentor can present an eleven which has had some varsity experience but for un derstudies he can only offer some ambitious reserves who are full of pep and cnthusiam but who lack the ! necessary experience - Higgins Changes System.
